Some damage was done to infrastructure and property, including several vehicles damaged by shrapnel.
An unnamed official from the Saudi royal family tells the Kan public broadcaster that “any suspicious object” that enters Saudi Arabian airspace is intercepted, an apparent nod toward the kingdom’s alleged role in shooting down Iranian attack drones headed for Israel last night.
The Saudi official also criticized Iran for having “engineered a war in Gaza” in order to destroy the progress it was making in normalizing relations with Israel, Kan reports.
“Iran is a country that sponsors terrorism, and it should have been stopped a long time ago,” Kan quotes the official as saying.
The tweet was accompanied by footage of Iranian missiles being blown up by Israeli defense systems over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
The tweet in Hebrew was written by the supreme leader of Iran above footage of missiles and drones that were intercepted in the sky over Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In the documentation, dozens of interceptions of missiles launched from Iran are seen last night and an alarm sounds can be heard in the background.
The tweet comes following Iran’s historic barrage against Israel, ending a four-decade long shadow war between the two countries. The barrage contained around 350 drones and missiles.
Khamenei has tweeted in Hebrew multiple times during the war
This is not the first time that Khamenei tweets in the Hebrew language.
In January, the Ayatollah referred to the war in Gaza in Hebrew, saying, “The crimes of the Zionist entity will not be forgotten. Even after the disappearance of this entity from the face of the earth, these crimes and the murder of thousands of children and women will be recorded in the books.”
